The weekend has come and gone! It's been raining at this side of the world, but I never let the weather put me down. Saturday night, while it was pouring down with rain outside, I was warm in my blanket and had a glass of red wine in front of my laptop, watching Julie and Julia. Awhile back, I have read somewhere that it is a good film so when my husband and I went to Asda Saturday afternoon, I headed to the DVD shop and finally got it! (And just want to throw this in - I ate rubbish yesterday, too - McDonald's! Is that too bad?)
If you haven't seen it yet, go and get a DVD because it is absolutely inspiring. Merryl Streep was superb! And Amy Adams, too! I love how Paul (Julia's husband) told her how amazing her book is and that is a book of genius and that it is a book that will change the world!!! That scene was so endearing. Julie's husband wasn't so bad himself, ever so supportive of Julie all the time, even in her madness.
Yes, I liked the film so much. And I felt really sad that Julie never met Julia. And Julia never really knew what effect she had on Julie and how she turned her life around. Tonight, I surfed the net and looked for anything written about Julie and Julia and came across Julie's blog!!! Yes, her real blog!!! The blog that was on the film! I got so excited so I am now sharing it with you.
Here's the link:

Hope you enjoy it...and the film, too. Because I did.
Have a great Monday, everyone!!!!

I liked the movie. First, I had read Julie and Julie, the book and My Life in France. Julia Child's story is so inspirational. I wrote a blog post about it almost a year ago to the day:

I have asked DH to download it for me. I loved your write up, and want to see it now!
It is good to have a junk 'n' wine day now and then. Glad you enjoyed yours. :)
I really must get the DVD, I need a shot of inspiration right now.
Have a great week x
I just recently watched this movie on a lazy Sunday lounging around in my sweats. Afterward, I wanted to cook everything that they did in that movie. It was such a great movie. Thanks for sharing Julie's actual blog site. It's so plain, but her voice sounds the same as Amy Adams.
Great post! :D
I really enjoyed this film, too - although I admit I liked the Julia bits better than the Julie sections. Still, it was a really fun film to watch!
I loved this movie, it's what inspired me back in January to begin blogging, it's been amazing! I would never have thought to start a blog had it not been for that movie!
This is one movie I would love to watch but have not got round to doing it yet.
@ Theresa - thanks for sharing with me your post. I will check the book My Life in France, it sounds interesting!
@ Old Kitty - I totally agree - Meryl Streep at her best! She really did well on this one!
@ Glynis - have you seen the film? Hope you liked it.
@ Ellie - nice to see you here! I love your writing style! Thanks for coming :)
@Brenda - I think the blog lacks photos and colours, don't you think? I just felt good that I found it on line, that it was real, after seeing the film! :)
@ Talli - Haha! I enjoyed both but of course Meryll Streep is one of my favourite actresses so I love her to bits on this one, too! :)
@Jen - Yes, I totally agree, it's an inspirational film. I suddently thought of my own blog and began to think of the so many readers out there that don't leave a comment but DO read our stuff! :)
@Loree - I recommend this film :)
I love this movie! She has a simple thought, and finally made a great life for herself..Very inspiring, indeed!
